CAMPER VAN BIRTHDAY CARD

Not been feeling to well lately, and my RLS has been playing me up, this keeps me up a lot at night, and sometimes when I'm sitting at the computer so sorry if I have been missing for a few days.

All went well with the fete on the weekend at my Daughter's works.

She is a manager for a charity that looks after people with learning difficulties, and they hold a fete every year to raise awareness of peoples learning problems, and to fund raise to help with costs of things their clients like to do.

This could be like last year an outside Gym or, Outings to Concerts, or Theatre, and maybe items for their communal lounge.

I always donate my takings to them, and it's wonderful to see them every year enjoying the fete.

Didn't do so well this year as it was just one day, and the weather was very showery off, and on, but I left a box of cards for staff, and visitors to perhaps buy over the next few months so they can get more funds.

So at long last my card for today, it is one I made for one of my Daughter's colleagues that buys a few cards throughout the year for special occasions.

This is a 8"x8" size card, and bag I decorated to match.

I was asked to include a Camper Van as she loves them, and a photo of her also.

I originally thought of putting her photo inside the camper van, but the photo of head was too big to do that, and as that was sent to me with the request that is how I had to use it.

I used lots of Snippets for the decoupaged flowers, and the corners

that I had left from another card I made, as the paper was 12x12.The butterflies are also made from snippets by my good blog friend Wendy L.

The bag has a different paper on it as I ran out of the Snippets, but the paper was very similar.

Adorable card and bag Jenny, you did well with the request....I always think it's such a challenge...you made it look lots of fun. Sorry you not been feeling well, bit like the weather up and down.....feel better soon and thanks for popping by xxx LesleyG

Hi Jenny, I hope you are feeling better real soon !!So sorry that the fundraiser was prey to the awful weather, but your box of goodies will certainly help to top up the funds.I'm loving your card, and Emma will love it too.Lots of love from Patricia xx

Sorry you've not been feeling well Jenny, hope you're feeling better soon. Disappointing when the weather lets you down for an event that people work so hard to put together, particularly when it's for such a good cause...but I think we're used to it here in the UK! It's really kind of you to donate your beautiful cards and I'm sure they'll soon be snapped up. This is a lovely personalised card, you've combined the requested elements so beautifully! Take carehugsChrisx

Both card and bag are wonderful Jenny, I'm sure they were well received :)Sorry to hear about your restless legs, my mum used to suffer really bad with it too and it used to keep her awake at night. I remember when I was young I used to massage her calves as that was what helped.Hugs Kaz xxx

Until you said I hadn't even noticed that the papers were different design. Great image of the camper van and bet the recipient of this card loved the personalisation. Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. Hugs Mrs A.

Hi JennyBrilliant personalisation and coordinating gift bag, as usual.Is that B&M paper? They did some lovely 12x12 pads a few months ago.Sorry to hear you've been suffering again. Hope it settles down soon.Thanks for the computer tips. It seems to be behaving at the minute but, we've yet to attempt connecting the printer lol!Take care.Ang x
